Serious question: has subterranean housing ever been considered for SF? If you can't build out or up, may as well build under. Feasibility aside, the only problem I see is it'd create a literal underclass—as opposed to the proverbial one that exists now as a result of absurd rent prices.

Or you can just live outside of San Francisco, and take 20 min train :)

It's either bedrock you'd have to drill through, or sand. I don't think it's a good place to have underground dwelling.

> If you can't build out or up, may as well build under. You can only not build up because of regulation. Building under probably comes with regulation, too.

Going down more than a floor gets stupidly expensive. The underclass would be the ones on the surface.
